Wir hatten bereits berichtet und es freut uns, dass unser Kommentar zu dieser Geschichte hier auch zitiert wird:
"...The German federal police at Frankfurt airport said in an official response cited by the website Honestly Concerned that they “resolutely reject any charges of discriminatory treatment.” The German police explained that due to travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic, “specified exceptions to the current entry restrictions must be regularly checked in detail.”
“For nationals from non-Schengen countries, including US Americans, entry into the Schengen area (which includes Germany) is currently only possible in justified exceptional cases,” according to the statement. “Initially, no exceptions could be established in connection with the entry restrictions.
